    The best officiant!

    Pastor K was awesome!! The best!!! He was quick on his response time from the get go and so very professional throughout the process. He is super affordable and after ceremony, I realized I would've paid more.

    Pastor K (that's my nickname for him) has such a chill and approachable personality. Leading up to the ceremony, I never felt uncomfortable reaching out to him, and he always replied within reasonable time. He even met with my husband and I via Facetime prior to the ceremony since we were not able to meet for the rehearsal dinner. That really put me at ease.

    On the actual ceremony day, he was punctual, professional and calm. Of course he had nothing to worry about (LOL), but just even being around him...his calm demeanor made me calm.

    It's a perk that he's bilingual. He met with my dad before (spoke to him in Spanish) and went over the ceremony. I was nervous that my dad wasn't going to know what to do, but clearly Pastor K did his thing...my dad was on point.

    There ceremony itself was beeeeautiful. His message and choice and words were exactly what we were looking for. It didn't feel "formal", it felt heart warming and sincere. I got a lot of compliments from my guests: "Where did you find him?" "He was awesome!" "The Pastor was great!"

    The ceremony lasted maybe 15 minutes and it was in both English and Spanish. It was perfect!

    After the ceremony, Pastor K took us aside to complete our wedding license and thank God he handled the mailing of the paperwork. The rest of that day followed by the honeymoon was so busy I don't know when I would have found the time to mail it out. I was very distracted.

    I strongly recommend Pastor K to officiate your wedding if .... YOU WANT IT TO BE AWESOME!!!

    Bilingual Officiant Delivers Great Experience

    Having a bilingual officiant was something we really wanted for our ceremony as we are both Hispanic and wanted all our guest to feel included during our celebration. Pastor Kevin was recommended to us and the moment we first talked to him we knew he was the one we wanted. He was great to work with and delivered exactly what we hoped.
